Under the condition of limited space in the panel with increasing functions, many buttons with different functions are forced to be set in a control panel with small space. It causes the crowded space of the panel. In this situation, how to recognize which buttons belong to control button with the same function for the user become the focus to the designer in the design of panel. Therefore, button panel in the mobile phone will be used as the sample in this study to discuss how to increase the effect of recognition when the different functions are set in the same operating panel, and to reach a good effect of transmission. The result of this study shows that (1) there are more than two functions in a panel when they are set in a control panel, the bringing of factors with different designs can increase their discrepancy and reach the effect of fast recognition. However, when the designer needs to use the different design factors in a control panel with the same function to emphasize on the discrepancy between this panel and that panel, he needs to collocate it with other design factors in a panel with the same functions by using the overlap. By doing so, he can reach a good effect of grouping. (2) If the button design is designed by the same design factors, then he should make the difference in the arrangement of the button to express such difference in the different panels. (3) In the panel with two kinds of functions, the design can be differentiated by using law of proximity and law of similarity in the grouping. Besides, the arrangement or the size of relative functions can be set similarly to give the effect of grouping. (4) The awareness about operation from the user should be taken into account in the panel design.
